Ken Stein Details His Case Against Carter
Kenneth Stein, the Emory University professor who resigned as a Middle East fellow at the Carter Center last December, just published his scathing analysis of “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” in the spring, 2007 edition of Middle East Quarterly.
Carter’s book, Stein writes, “contains egregious errors of both commission and omission. To suit his desired ends, [Carter] manipulates information, redefines facts, and exaggerates conclusions.”
Particularly interesting is Stein’s description of Carter’s psychology, including his allegedly inflated assessment “that he himself was the essential ingredient to enable the Egyptian-Israeli peace.”
"Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief"
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
